WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

CCP seasons usually consist of 5-6 productions; 3-4 mainstage plays, 1 musical, and 1 Rising Star production (a youth-centered show which can be a play or musical). This structure is open and subject to change based on director submissions but will not exceed 6 performances per year.

We are looking to craft a diversified season that may engage a diverse group of directors, actors, and technical and artistic staff, and appeal to Comedies, dramas, and musicals may be submitted. New works as well as old favorites are encouraged.

Most of our shows will be performed at the Cat in Carmel, an intimate venue with a stage about 25’ across and about 32’ deep.

WHAT TO SUBMIT

Submitting directors will be asked to provide proof of prior directing or theatrical experience, details of your artistic vision, staffing needs, resources, and scheduling availability. Submitting directors are not required to have prior experience with Carmel Community Players but are strongly advised to have prior experience directing or assistant directing for theatre or stage performance. First time directors will be strongly encouraged to enlist a CCP-veteran or seasoned director to assist.  Available time slots:

• FEBRUARY / MARCH
• APRIL / MAY
• JUNE / early JULY (typically reserved for Rising Star youth production)
• late JULY / AUG
• SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER
• NOVEMBER / DECEMBER *

*Christmas or holiday-themed shows are encouraged but not required. We would highly encourage a family-friendly or wider age-range appropriate submission.

 WHAT TO EXPECT

Submissions will be closed at the end of November. The CCP script selection committee will read, review, and discuss each submission. All scripts will be considered for suitability with our audience demographic, as well as venue requirements, needed resources, and marketability. Final season decisions will be made in February – all directors will be contacted. Season announcements will be made in April.
